Coat of Arms of the Dukagjini family
Every human being has roots and a personal history as well as a future. All we who are alive today are the carriers of countless moments our ancestors left us as legacy. Some beautiful and even heroic, others sad and tragic. All interesting.
This website tells the story of the family known in our ancestral Albanian language as Dukagjini. Our history begins in the mountains of Albania in crucial times for the Albanian people. Our ancestors were castle lords, warriors, rebels and diplomats and fathers and mothers to us all. In more than 700 years, we found ourselves in all corners of the Mediterranean.
For many of us today, the El Adli - Dukaginzade, Aleppo is where we built our home and continued our lineage. Through this website, we want to explore and share with the world the tales of our family and of all our people.
